How to find the context root of a webapp when a EAR is deployed ?

[Prasad Kashyap <go...@gmail.com>]

After the samples application EAR is deployed, it shows up only in the
"Application EARs" portlet.

It's webapp does not show up in the list of Web App WARs.  So one
cannot find it's context root (URL) and go to it.

Is this by design ?

That sounds like a good improvement.  Wanna open a JIRA?  In the
meantime you can look for the context root in the server startup
output.

Best wishes,
Paul

I guess there is already a JIRA on this.  If not, it is better to create one
to track this.

OK. Can we design it in such a way that the WARs do show up in that
list with maybe just the context root ? It'd be ok if the other
operations are not permitted on such a webapp.

That will be a huge usability enhancement wherein you can now directly
go to the context root URL of an application.This will be specially
useful for plugins and samples where the user downloads readily
available EARs and deploys them. He doesn't have to have the added
hassle of knowing what the just deployed app's context root is.

I suspect the reason that WARs contained in EARs are not listed in the
Web App WARs portlet is because the start, stop, restart, and
uninstall controls would not work as expected.
